Well, I have a ventrue deck and I started a setite one but they kinda
suck. My Malk deck is cool too so I want to start making a Ravnos deck.
I have heard that they are good with guns but that's it. No one in my
group plays em so i was wondering if the suck (kinda of like the setites)
or if they are worth playing. Sensory Deprivation seem to be their only
cool card, (that I've seen) As far as their other disciplines go, I would
rather use gangral cause Protean and Fortitude is nice. If any out there
has seen a cool Ravnos deck, please let me know. I am also looking for
some cards for the deck too. Thanks for your help.

I played a neat Ravnos deck recently. It's big thing was to play Horrid
Reality, bring out an Assault rifle (the only weapon in the deck, with
about 3 or 4 of them). The assault rifle was given Dragon Breath
Rounds. With superior Chimerstry, the rifle would be taken out of the
ashheap after combat and shuffled back into the deck. That's 7 damage, 2
of which are aggro. (I think, maybe it was 6). It was fun to play.

i seem to remember reading a ruling that stated that if a card is no
longer in play at the end of combat, then it does not get shuffled
back into the library..(or taken into your hand, or something..), it
just stays in the ash heap...maybe this has since been overturned,
though...

Officially, the burned weapon would remain burned. The "Reshuffle"
effect of superior Horrid Reality only kicks in if the weapon is still
in play at the end of combat.

Ravnos have a bunch of cards which make getting weapons cheaper
and easire, so there is a potential right there. Horrid
Reality can bve fun, too, pulling out an assault rifle or
flamethrower to hose a particularly nasty blocker/bleeder. I
made a fairly interesting deck designed around the action which
one of the largest Ravnos (I don't remember his name) takes to
pick a random card from a Methuselah's hand, and if it is a
retainer or weapon, to get it for no cost. The legality of it
is questionable, as I used this action against myself. The
card simply says "a methuselah" and not "another methuselah,"
but is a directed action, so my playgroup agreed to let me go
ahead with it, legal or not, as an undirected action. Anyway,
the crypt consisted of sundry Ravnos and Gangrels with four
copies of the big guy (I think there were 14 total in the
crypt). The library was, basically, all the cool weapons and
useful retainers I had, including assault rifles, submachine
guns, flamethrowers, and the like. The interesting twist is
that most of the retainers would not normally be usable by the
Ravnos, but there is no stipulation on the action that they
have to be, so corpse minions became a nice addition, along
with other clan and discipline specific retainers. It was slow
getting going, and didn't win, but it was fun blocking an
action with a guy who had a ghoul retainer, a flamethrower, an
assault rifle, and a corpse minion, all gained at no cost.
Sorry if I waxed a little long winded there.

Darius Styx's special ability is a (D) action, which officially means can
_only_ be used against other methuselahs. Many playgroups have a house
rule that allows self-(D) actions to become non-(D) (excepting
self-bleed, self-combat, which is disallow).

Well it is my opinion that the Ravnos do not suck:
There are some very cool combos you can pull off -- like Illusions of the
kindred, trap undead persistance/apparition (along with a horrid reality
is really great ( I used only flame throwers in my deck) )
Several of them can bleed decently with dominate...and perminant stealth
is nice. Kiss of Ra works wonders on frail kindred as well...
The problems I had with it was that it requires a lot of blood from your
vampires and a lot of pool for Rom Gypsies if you use them.
But they have good survivability vs rushes and can bleed as well as Sesory
Deprivaton.

I don't think guns are their big thing, though it can be...

This is the combat deck that makes our decks quiver. The basic deck is
simple:
Trap, Drawing out the Beast, Apparation (or other damage prevention).
This guarantees torpor on pretty much everyone except S:CEnders.
Occasionally, top off the combo with a Horrid Reality Flamethrower
(burn). Probably the toughest combat deck I have ever seen, if not the
most boring after the 5th time you play it.
